Reactions of 1,3-dibromo-1,1-difluoroalkanes with soduim borohydride

Abstract

The title 1,3-dibromo-1 , 1-difluoroalkanes undergo selective hydrogenolysis of one or both carbon-bromine bonds upon treatment with sodium borohydride in polar aprotic solvents. Acyclic adducts yield 1-bromo-1, 1-difluoroalkanes, while cyclic adducts yield mixtures of regioisomers. All of the haloalkanes can be completely debrominated to the corresponding gemdifluoroalkanes. Thus, addition of dibromodifluoromethane to alkenes followed by hydride reduction presents a route to difluoromethyl-substituted compounds.
